Now, I'm going to get on my soap box. As for manufactured goods made with lead free solder, we will suffer from electronic products with short lifespans until we come to our senses about lead free solder. It's a lot worse than that fancy LCD TV dying in a few short years. We will eventually see injuries or deaths caused by tin whiskers in critical systems in things such as airplanes and medical equipment. I support good environmental regulations, however there is no science that shows that lead in electronic solder gets into the environment in significant amounts other than from fumes while soldering is taking place.
